CTOnews.com, November 7 (Xinhua)-- Musk's tunnel-digging company The Boring Company has announced that it will launch a full test of the Super High Speed Rail (Hyperloop) project.

At the same time, the company confirmed the news on Twitter, accompanied by a picture of Tesla Model 3 testing in the "full-size Hyperloop" tunnel.

As early as 2013, Musk put forward the concept of "super high-speed rail" high-speed transportation, and completed the construction of the test site in 2018.

Super high-speed rail technology even allows passengers to move through underground tunnels at more than 600mph in an electric cabin, from Washington, D.C., to New York City in 30 minutes, according to The Boring Company's website.

Since the 2013 white paper on super high-speed rail, Musk has often talked about the future of the technology.

At an event in Hawthorne, Calif., in 2018, Musk said the super-high-speed rail could take people from Hawthorne to Los Angeles at 150 miles an hour for as little as $1.

In April, The Boring Company tweeted that it would begin a "full" test of super high-speed rail sometime this year.

CTOnews.com has reported that The Boring Company has built a network of tunnels under Las Vegas that is completely different from that of super-high-speed rail, and passengers can travel through the tunnel in Tesla electric vehicles.

Virgin Super High-Speed Rail, which competes with The Boring Company, reportedly abandoned the idea of using super-high-speed rail technology to transport passengers earlier this year to focus on transporting goods.
